Default Graphics Problem

I just bought a used Raptor 2001 and i want to put a graphics kit on it for christmas. I just looked at the quad and there are big scratches where i would put the decales on the plastics. Would you buy $500 for new plastics and $120 for decales or somhow glue the graphics kit down so it doesn't peel off. What graphics kits are hot that nobody really has??? the price doesn't matter... i go riding with a whole bunch of buddies and they have the big brands with nice decales i want somthing different.. what should i get. any pics or websites??? thanks

The simple elegence of the Limited Edition graphics are pretty hard to beat. But they are rediculously expensive.

My problem is that if i put the graphics on will they peel off because of the scratching on the stock plastics.

I new seat covers were going to be a pain in the ***. But you are going right through my master plan. Other then I'm staying with stock bore.

But I'm putting that graphic's kit on mine anyway. Me and my girl have talked about how great that kit would look. And I'm getting it......tell me how it looks.

After you put your new graphics on the bike...take a tooth pick and seal the edges of the stickers with thin CA glue found at hobby shops.

Just be careful not to let any run onto the plastic not covered in stickers...it will ruin it quick.

Just use a little...it goes a long way.

From your local hobby shop, there's also another "sealant" to try, it's called Balsaright. Test it first on an inconspicuous area of your plastic. Almost like water, and when it dries, it's very hard to see.
